Clark waived his right to appear at a brief court hearing Wednesday in state Superior Court on Church Street. In his absence, Judge Fasano considered the defense’s request to extend the seal on a final search warrant affidavit.

Fasano unsealed redacted versions of eight other search warrant affidavits in Clark’s case in December. The documents revealed a trove of new information on what led police to justify searching the body and possessions of 24-year-old Clark in the days leading up to his arrest. They revealed, for example, that police claimed they found blood “in plain view” on the kitchen floor of Clark’s Middletown apartment.

One more affidavit remains under seal by request of the defense, Judge Fasano said Wednesday. The search warrant was issued sometime after Clark’s arrest, he said. Clark’s lawyers, Public Defenders Beth Merkin and Joseph Lopez, requested the seal be extended. Fasano turned down that request. He said Wednesday that he intends to redact the 10th affidavit and issue a memorandum on his intent to unseal it.

The judge will probably issue that memorandum within the next two weeks, according to a court spokeswoman. After that, the seal would remain for three working days, allowing time for appeals.
